The cars used for the TV series were equipped with the 152-HP 5.8-liter Windsor V-8 engine for non-chase and non-stunt scenes, while the stunt cars were equipped with the 6.5- and 7.5-liter V-8s.

Here are the various stages of engine assembly:

I look forward to it. The Windsor didn’t quite achieve the fame as the Cleveland for some reason, but still nothing to be trifled with.

Very nice. Have fun with that one piece decal. Interestly enough, when they painted these cars they’d paint the white first, mask it, and then paint the red.

Personally I love it. The only thing that could have possibly made it even cooler, is having the red light flashing. I’ve got Season 1 on DVD, and this makes me want to go watch some lol.

Great job!

Looks great. :+1:

Only possible improvement is a maybe a wash in the grill. I am not talented enough to attempt it at this stage.

I believe CA is a front plate state. The box art suggests a front plate as well.
